Just Steel Preakness Stakes Prediction and Pick

Just Steel's Speed Scores are low on average (81.3) across a dozen races, worse than the field average of 86.2. Just once (the Arkansas Derby) did Just Steel surpass a 100 Speed Score.

Understandably, Just Steel sits toward the bottom of the field in terms of the morning line odds.
